Pikachu does a quick back flip, hurting any opponent who is near it with its tail, doing 18% damage when [[fresh]] and powerful vertical knockback. | Pikachu does a quick back flip, hurting any opponent who is near it with its tail, doing 18% damage when [[fresh]] and powerful vertical knockback. This is similar to {{mvsub|Captain Falcon|SSB|up smash|poss=y}} but with more range, power, and lag. Its overall an versatile and excellent comboing move, where it can combo into itself when used against heavier characters as well as any of Pikachu's aerials. An effective strategy that Pikachu can use is that it's up smash can follow with [[Thunder]] which can KO opponents once the up smash gets them near the upper line. This technique, known as "[[Thunderspiking]]", allows Pikachu to KO characters 20%-30% quicker. An easy but effective way to reach the up smash -> Thunderspike combo is with a barrage of {{mvsub|Pikachu|SSB|up tilt}}s, which can be done as a [[0-death]] combo. Additionally, hitting with the move when Pikachu isn't facing the opponent, or with the tip of Pikachu's tail when the opponent is directly above it, does weak knockback and about halved damage that can [[juggle]] and chain into itself at high percentages, as well as being able to combo into an aerial or the strong hitbox of the up smash. | ||
